Has anyone else had a problem getting the JMF to work in a Web Start application since updating to Java 7 update 25?

I can successfully run our application on my local machine via Eclipse and the webcam image loads. When I run my application from Web Start it does not load any image and errors out with the following error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi - I have exactly the same issue. Referring to Java 1.7_25 release note, i have also included permissions/codebase attributes in jmf jar manifest file but it did not help. With the permissions attributes i dont see the warning missing permissions, but it not solve the actual problem. JMF throws following NPE exception in my case
